Not backing down. Good. Media needs to treat this like the insane and dangerous threat it is

Statement from Slotkin, Kelly, Crow, DeLuzio, Goodlander, Houlahan:

"Every American must unite and condemn the President’s calls for our murder and political violence. This is a time for moral clarity"

DC media has been cleaning up for Trump for 10 years. And, we all know the ballroom is his top priority

FFS, yesterday during his meeting with the NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, he took out a rendering of the ballroom to blather on and on about it

There's a #NoKings protest in my DC neigbhorhood before the big event. Several hundred people on Conn Ave, cars honking. Great energy.

I did love the resisting bitch face sign and the woman who made it was taking pics of other protesters - including me!

you can't see it as well from the clip of testimony at the hearing, but here's an image from Iowan Jonna Higgins-Freese at the @housedemocrats.bsky.social presser today

Her t-shirt reads "One Tough Mother" - and that sure comes across
